5 minutes with Winterfylleth (again)

I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t I do this not long ago? It’s true, I did. Less than 18 months ago in fact. And if Winterfylleth releases another album and does an album launch in the next 18 months I’ll go and do it all again.I left work at 2pm, got the train to London, the Underground to Cambde...

The Forcek Assignment

The Forcek Assignment

I loved The Forcek Assignment! I’ve read most of Ray Adam’s books and this is by far my favorite so far. It’s short, at about 110 pages, but that means it’s fast paced. There are only a few characters, so you only really get to know Roo Raker, but that’s enough.It has a plot which would be at home i...

Winterfylleth - The Unyielding Season

The Imperious Horizon came out on the 13th of September 2024. 18 months (and 2 days) ago. Of course that’s not a long time between albums, especially with bands today - it’s been nearly 8 years since the last Dimmu Borgir album - but it’s also felt like forever waiting for The Unyielding Season.One ...

Although I haven’t done what you’d call traditional business analysis for years, I work in a Product led organisation, and I love getting up in front of ...

AI: Assisted Ignorance with Dom Davis

AI: Assisted Ignorance with Dom Davis

There’s something about Dom. It’s not only his depth of knowledge of the topics he speaks about. It’s his charisma and his delivery too. This is why people flock to see him. It also helps that Dom has been obsessed (in a good way) with AI for as long as I can remember. He always feels ahead of the g...
